The Dallas Cowboys passed up a chance to replace head coach Mike McCarthy with Bill Belichick this offseason, but team owner and general manager Jerry Jones has certainly not ruled out the possibility of working with the six-time Super Bowl champion head coach in the future.
During a recent interview with Yahoo Sports, Jerry Jones made it very clear that he would be willing to work with Bill Belichick at some point in the future if it worked out for both parties.
“I know him personally and I like him,” Jones said. “There’s no doubt in my mind we could work together. None. None.”
Jones had nothing but glowing praise for Belichick before reiterating that he would be willing to work with the legendary coach in the future.
“We all know that he’s certainly excellent, maybe at the top of his profession,” Jones said. “To say that any one person automatically assures you a Super Bowl is ridiculous. That’s too high [an] expectation for him. But is he maybe the greatest pro football coach of all time? Could very well be.
“He is a friend and I like him and I want to make real clear: I wouldn’t have any problem working with him.”
It’s pretty shocking to hear Jones talk this candidly about potentially bringing in Belichick after deciding to stick with McCarthy, and these comments certainly caused a lot of conversation on social media as a result.
In the afterlife?

I don’t think Jerry Jones’ ego will allow him to hire a future HOF coach in Bill Belichick.

We’ll have to see what the future holds for both Belichick and the Cowboys.
